Table 4

Biomass of Chir Pine forest.

Age group	Mean STBM (t·ha^−1)	Mean TTBM (t·ha^−1)	Mean HLDM (t·ha^−1)	Mean TBM (t·ha^−1)
Young	50.6 ± 7.8^C	80.0 ± 12.4^C	0.7 ± 0.3	131.3^C
Mature	217.1 ± 125.6^B	343.1 ± 167.6^B	0.9 ± 0.3	561.1^B
Overmature	335.1 ± 126.3^A	529.5 ± 176.8^A	1.0 ± 1	865.1^A
Mean	200.9	338.3	0.86	519.1

Superscripts in each column show significant differences at α =  0.1 and . STBM = stem biomass; TTBM = total tree biomass; HLDM = herb, litter, and deadwood biomass; TBM = total biomass; TBM = STBM + TTBM + HLDM.
